Peach Dump Cake
What Is A Dump Cake?
Dump Cake is a really simple dessert that is made with a box cake mix and a fruit filling. You literally dump all the ingredients into a 9×13 pan, bake and top with ice cream or whipped cream!
How To Make Peach Dump Cake
Making a dump cake couldn’t get any easier! To make this easy cake recipe:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Spray your baking dish with cooking spray to start.
- Add your canned peaches into a 9×13 baking dish WITH liquid. I like Peach Pie Filling but you could use canned peaches.
- Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over top of the peaches.
- Thinly slicing the butter, add to the top of the cake mix.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes until the cake is golden brown.
- Serve warm and topped with vanilla ice cream. YUM!
You can add chopped pecans and brown sugar to the top of the cake if you’d like. I am sure this would be delicious and take this Peach Dump Cake to a whole other level!
Tips For Making Dump Cake
- I like to use pie filling for all of my dump cake recipes. Pie fillings are already full of flavor so you don’t have to worry about adding in sugar or spices to jazz it up.
- Pour in the ENTIRE can of pie filling. YES! The whole thing – juice and all! You need this to help moisten the cake and help it cook correctly.
- Cut your entire stick of butter into very thin slices so that you can cover as much of the top of the cake as possible. Some people like to melt their butter and pour over that top. That works, too!
- Add some flavor and crunch to your cake by adding in nuts to the top. Almonds, walnuts, and pecans are all great options!
Favorite Flavors for Dump Cakes
I like ALL dump cakes. There’s something about the buttery flavor and rich ice cream melting over the top of the warm cake that gets me every time. It’s DELICIOUS!
I have several recipes you may want to check out next!
- Blueberry Dump Cake
- Pumpkin Dump Cake
- Apple Dump Cake
- Cherry Dump Cake (recipe to come soon!)
You can also use different flavors of cake mix. This Peach Dump Cake uses yellow cake mix but you could mix it up! Add lemon cake mix to Blueberry Dump Cake, chocolate to the Cherry Dump Cake, spice cake to Pumpkin Dump Cake – there are so many combinations to try!
I love vanilla ice cream over my dump cake recipes, but you could use whipped cream, too! OR just eat it plain and either warm or cold. It really is the easiest cake you can make AND eat!
Does dump cake need refrigerated?
Leftover dump cake can be stored for several days in the refrigerator.
What If I’m Not A Baker?
Then you’re in luck – this cake is SO easy to make and virtually foolproof! As long as you keep an eye on it in the oven and make sure it doesn’t overbake (burn) you should be fine!
Set a timer for 40 minutes and check on it every 5 minutes until it’s hot, bubbly and golden brown. It’s that easy!
